MSM Magazine Names “Unemployed/Untalented” Kaepernick as “Citizen of the Year”

Just when you think the left couldn’t get any more wacky, they go and do something that proves there’s always room for more lunacy.

Case in point: Monthly publication GQ Magazine named former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as its “Citizen of the Year” in its “Men of the Year” edition, which is subtitled, “The New American Heroes.”

It boggles the mind to think of how this recognition came to be, but GQ author Martin Schoeller explained how the unemployed agitator wound up on the magazine’s cover.

Schoeller said that Kaepernick is not working because he has been “blackballed” for kneeling during the playing of our national anthem. Schoeller also claimed that there are approximately 90 men playing quarterback for the NFL and Kaepernick is “indisputably” better than 70 of them.

There are many who would argue with Schoeller’s assessment of Kaepernick’s talent. In fact, 2017 was not one of the player’s best years in football because, if had been, he would surely still be employed.

It’s pretty clear the NFL does not blackball players who protest, as many players are still protesting.

But the bigger issue here is how GQ equates manliness with disrespecting our flag, our police officers and our military.

GQ must be confused.

Like many on the left, the publishers at the magazine still do not understand why we all don’t acknowledge Kaepernick for being some kind of hero.

It’s simple: because what the former football star did was not heroic — it was disgraceful.

A more fitting title for Kaepernick would be “Spoiled Brat of the Year” or “Crybaby of the Year.”

Unfortunately, this kind of “recognition” is what happens when the left attempts to control our culture.

Kaepernick has had a year to go out and actually do something for the “oppressed” that he claims to care so much about. He has traveled to Ghana and blamed everyone for his misery — including President Donald Trump — but he hasn’t done much to help those in need.

Honestly, Kaepernick has done little to convince anyone that he is serious about his activism.
